Independent Journalist Are Literally ’Dying Out’ In Russia

’They threatened us to cut off our fingers, and then began to break them.’ – Yelena Milashyna, journalist. Two oppositionists who criticised Chechen authorities were seriously beaten and wounded. That is, not only those who are disliked by Russian authorities but also by Chechen ones will be persecuted and punished. And there can be any reason for that. The professional activities of Milashyna and Nemov became a reason for kidnapping and torture. Journalists have always been persecuted in Russia, but it aggravates year by year. They’re deprived of their freedom and the opportunity to write and publish, but those who are not caught yet are in grave danger. _____________________________________ Subscribe to The Gaze: @TheGazeDigitalPlatform Subscribe to UATV English: Facebook: Twitter: Telegram: Website : #UATV #UATV_English #UkraineNews #UATV_News #News #Ukraine #UkrainianNews #EventsInUkraine #LatestNews #TopNewsUkraine
